I'm running an install + build from scratch on an EC2 machine that I booted up. Running into some problems. Launched an Ubuntu instance. Inside of the cloned Daft repo, I'm running

make .venv

. This fails with an error "distutils module not found". I tried running using Python 3.9 and 3.12, but to no avail on either. Anyhoo, I tried circumventing that problem by using

uv

to create and manage the .venv. I ran:

uv v --python 3.9 # create the .venv for python 3.9

source .venv/bin/activate

uv sync # this fails

uv pip install maturin
make build # this failed with a linker error, so I installed the `cc` linker

sudo apt install build-essentials --fix-all -y # this command failed, but seemed to install the linker

make build # this one is working now...

Here’s my bootstrapping commands

sudo yum install git gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel make python-devel
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf <https://sh.rustup.rs> | sh
source "$HOME/.cargo/env"


git clone <https://github.com/Eventual-Inc/Daft.git>
cd Daft/
make .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
make build-release

aws configure sso

But I'm curious as to why

make .venv

was failing for me. Seems like that one is extremely important to run during this entire installation process...

I think

uv

is a good idea, but you might need the yum installs that I have in there

I'm running the suggested installation right now.

sudo yum install git gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel make python-devel

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

source "$HOME/.cargo/env"

git clone https://github.com/Eventual-Inc/Daft.git

cd Daft/

make .venv

source .venv/bin/activate

make build-release

aws configure sso

@jay this is so nice lol. I always just, hey chatgpt give me a command to install git python rust etc. etc. every single time lmao. maybe we should have a daft-dev ami?

A daft-dev AMI template sounds nice right about now

Mine literally just lives as a sticky note on my computer
